Replaced Mac SE Hard Disk - I'm going crazy!

My old Mac SE hard disk kicked it so I bought a 2gb IBM SCSI drive. The problem I have is that Apple HD SC Setup on the 6.0.8 Startup Disk won't recognize non-Apple drives. I found a web site that led to a link to a modified version of Apple HD SC Setup version 7.3.5 and put that on a floppy. I booted my Mac SE with the 6.0.8 disk and then when the desktop came up, I ejected the disk and inserted the disk with Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5. 7.3.5 sees the SCSI drive and the Test went fine but it won't let me initialize the drive. I am assuming this is because I'm using Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 with the old 6.0.8 System disk.
How do I initialize my drive? Is there a Mac OS 7.3.5 boot disk out there somewhere?

I'll post my own answer here. I found software called Lido 7 and it formatted my drive perfectly. http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/pub/lido756.hqx

Cost of replacing iMac 27 hard disk

Anybody know the likely cost of replacing a dead hard disk, 1 TB, in a 2010 27inch iMac?

Or possibly even more, get on the telephone and begin calling AASP's in your area for information.

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

Request for Procedure to replace a faulty hard disk on X1070 hardware

                   Hi,
                   Can I get a procedure document on how to replace a faulty hard disk setup up in RAID 1+0 configuration and the applaince is setup to be part of a cluster.
Regards,
Many Thanks

Were you able to get the information you need on the faulty drive? The drives are hot swappable, except on X150/X160 appliances. Replacing the drive should automatically kick off the rebuild, and should not have any impact on clustering.
Just open a support case with TAC, and we can swap out the drive, if you are still under contract.
Incase the full KB article was reachable...
The full eKB can be found:
https://ironport.custhelp.com/app/answers/list
The drives on a 1U IronPort appliance will no longer be replaced. Instead, a replacement device will be shipped for any RAID issues. This applies to the C1xx, M160 and S160 devices.
To replace a drive on a 2U IronPort appliance:
   1. While the system is running normally, unlatch the original drive and slide it out.
   2. Slide in the replacement drive and latch it into place.
To replace a drive on C170 and S170, please kindly see the below document link:
KB article 1815
After a short time, the lights will begin blinking indicating the RAID container is being rebuilt. While the rebuild is happening, you may receive more RAID alerts - this is normal. The rebuild may slow mail throughput on busier systems, but otherwise has no effect on normal operations. This process can take a few hours. After it is completed, the RAID alerts should no longer occur unless there is a new issue.
Note: If two or more drives have failed, replace only one drive at a time! Do not replace the next drive until the Rebuild is complete. This can be monitored from the 'version' CLI command
Note: For instructions on how to return IronPort hardware, see KB article 138.
Hope this helps!
-Robert

When apple id identify an MacBook air on find my mac use hard disk or motherboard?

Will use the system serial number as long as the system has not had the operating system reinstalled so the reporting function is no longer tied to the AppleID.

Mac mini hard disk keep crashing

The hard disk of my Mac mini has been replaced twice during the one year warranty period. It crashed again recently and I was unable to reformat or reinstalled the OS as suggested in the manual. I worry if my Mac mini was not due to hard disk problem alone as Apple products can not be that unreliable where by you need to change hard disk every coypu pole of months. And now the warranty period is over and wonder how Apple can help me in this matter.

Question mark icon flashes when I boot up the Mac mini. When halfway copying file under the recovery method suggest in the manual, error appeared and can cannot continue copying the file. In some of the trials, HD no longer seen by the Mac. I am quite new to the Mac, and not sure which SMART error you are referring to. I may try to approach regional service centre in Singapore. Thanks for your info.

Mac died, hard disk data recoverable - does this include Desktop files?

Hi there,
My G5 died (well, it fell victim to my ex's violent outrage - logic board dead), anyway... I have had my hard disk made up so I can mount it / access it on my new mac. But will this include the files that were saved on my Desktop?
Thanks in advance,
Bree

The desktop is just a graphical representation of a folder inside your User's home folder. Naturally, the folder is named "Desktop." For those that work in a cluttered environment and have a hard time finding files or folders on their desktop, you can see the contents of the desktop in alpha/numeric list view by going to the desktop folder (Users->[your user name]->Desktop).

Replacing MacBook Pro hard disk

Hi to all. I found on the web tutorials about replacing hard-disk on the MacBook but nothing about MacBook Pro! Is this operation very difficult or much more difficult that on the MacBook? Anyone is able to indicate me haw to do or a tutorial? I would like to replace my 80GB with a 160GB HD.
Thank you to all of you!

sorry I can't offer any direct advice. but I think the reason why it's easier and there is user info on how to swap out the drives in the macbook is because they are the first apple notebook to have a drive designed to be replaceable by the user, AFAIK. it's ironic, but the macbook pro is not designed with a user-swapabble drive, so that's prob why you're having trouble finding a guide to do it. also be aware that opening the machine voids your warranty. that said, I have heard of people that took their MBP in to a computer service place to have the drive replaced, so if you don't find out how to do it yourself, you could try taking it somewhere. btw, my grandmother came from varese..

Replacing SSD with hard disk drive on Qosmio X505-Q880

Is it possible to replace the SSD drive in a Qosmio X505-Q880 with a hard disk drive? If so what type will work?
Thanks,
Ed

Yes. I just replaced my 60 gig with a Kingston 240gig from Amazon. Re installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I DID NOT use the recovery disk from Toshiba because there were many programs that did not suit my needs, excellent though they were. It runs very fast about 4 times as fast as my old drive.

Replace Time Capsule Hard disk

A WESTERN DIGITAL Hard disk Caviar Red WD30EFRX 3.5" - 3 TB is a good choice to replace hard disk inside the Time Capsule 2nd generation?

Sure, that will work fine.. as would the WD Green.. as far as TC is concerned there is no real difference.. the Red is designed to work in multi-disk NAS but is very little different to the Green.. you are paying for the syncing with multiple disks.. since TC has only one disk then there is no real advantage to the Red.. Since Apple uses all WD green in the later models I would have no issue using them.. and I have usually upgraded to greens.. although I don't think they are the best disks on the market.. they are the cheapest.

Importing into mac from hard disk - impossible to maintain order

ok, have several music lists - 7, each for the day of the week, and import them into Itunes.
In preferences, I have under advanced unchecked
- keep iTunes media folder organized
- copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library
so everything stays on the external hard disk.
now, all songs are marked
in monday:   m0001   m0002
on tuesday   tu0001   tu0002
etc.
no problem at all for monday, tuesday - thursday, friday, saturday and sunday.
on wednesday - a complete mix up with some songs that have nothing to do with the list.
there are even songs there that are NOT on the original list!
I have deleted everything from iTunes, loaded again and .... same problem
importing I do by dragging the mp3 files (songs) from a hard disk into iTunes
again, all days work perfectly BUT wednesday.

strangely enough, the number of songs (342) is exactly the same in the original list and on the iTunes list

Can I replace my new hard disk drive with my old one???

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro 13' (mid 2012) and I wonder if I can put inside the hard disk (SSD) from my old Macbook Pro 13' (mid 2010)

The hard drive itself should work. The only thing to be aware of is the operating system on the previous MacBook Pro. If it's older than the version your new MacBook Pro came with it may not run.

Mac book: hard disk drive: replacement upgrade options

Ive done my reading. Now i would like to know if anyone has had very negative or postive experiences replacing MACBOOK HDs. im interested in the difference in RPMs:54oo vs 72oo. and also the difference in brands. it seems seagate has made a good name for its products, but im also looking at hitachi and western digital. and maybe there is a different company that i dont know about. any experiential knowledge on this topic would be much appreciated.
many thanks

hi all,
i have upgraded my factory hd to a seagate momentus 7200 rpm 160GB HD. I would like to use my factory Toshiba 80GB HD as an external HD. from what i can tell i need to get a 2.5" SATA firewire HD enclosure. any suggestions on what kind to get? or where to get it from?
i have only found a couple enclosure that seem to meet these requirements. one at owc and another somewhere else.
but i have read in the forums that people have bought "cheap" enclosures to make their internal hd's external hd's.
i havent found these yet.

Replacing Mac Mini Hard Drive with SSD, and New ML Install

I have a mid-2011 Mac Mini, and it has been running very sluggish, even when there are multiple free GB of RAM and the processor is only at 10 to 20% of capacity. I ran TechTool Pro 6 to do a scan of the whole machine, and it didn't detect anything out of the ordinary.
At this point I am guessing that it's probably a software issue. I have tons of processes running in the background all the time, and have installed hundreds of programs over the last two years, so it could be anything number of things that are somehow messing up Mountain Lion.
So, I would like to replace the 500GB internal hard drive with a 120GB SSD Drive (Samsung 840 Series), and put a fresh install of Mountain Lion on the SSD, put the 500GB in an external enclosure, and see if that fixes the problem.
Can someone explain the best way for me to do this, in a step by step list?
I can figure out how to accomplish each step, I just need some overall guidance as to how I should approach the whole thing.
Thanks very much!
Some other notes:
I have a 3 TB hard drive that I can use to back up everything on the 500 GB hard drive, but I'm assuming that time machine isn't the best way to back everything up, since I won't be able to restore the machine on the 120GB drive that I want to boot from.
Normally, I would get the internal 500GB down to 100GB of data, and then clone it on the SSD, and make the swap, but I'm assuming that cloning the drive will potentially replicate the source of the slowness, so I'm assuming that isn't the best way to proceed.

Here is my opinion and steps I would perform.
Back up your system first.
Check the iFixit.com site for a guide of how to replace the drive. Review Steps 3 and 4 BEFORE you replace your drive.
If you have a USB thumb drive with the ML 10.8.3 installer, skip to step 6.
If you don't have a USB thumb drive with the ML 10.8.3 installer, download the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant and use a 1-4GB thumb drive to create a Recovery HD on the thumb drive you can boot from. Skip to step 6.
If you have neither of the above, after replacing the drive, restart into Internet Recovery by pressing/holding the Command+Option+R keys. Since you have a mid-2011, Internet Recovery will ONLY allow you to download and install Lion since that's what probably came preinstalled on your system.
After you replace your drive and you are booted into the OS X Utilities Menu from one of Steps 3-5, select Disk Utility and format your new drive as Mac OS Extended-Journaled with the GUID partition table.
Go back to the OS X Utilities Menu and select Reinstall Mac OS X.
After the download and install of OS X you can run through the setup creating your user account (same as you had on you old drive).
If you were able to install OS X ML, skip to step 11.
If you installed Lion, you will have to login to the App Store and download/install your purchase of ML.
Run Software Updates to bring your OS X up to date.
Now you can restore any data files and apps that will fit onto the new drive from Time Machine. Enter Time Machine and navigate to your last backup to view the /Applications folders and your user folders (e.g Documents, Downloads, Music, etc.).
For your email, you can open Finder then press the Option key to see your user Library folder in the list. Select it to open it then enter Time Machine again and navigate to your last backup so that your user Library folder is opened in Time Machine. Copy your Mail folder to your Desktop so you can copy it back to your current user Library.
I think that's it.
